Well, I just received an E from James. Perhaps he read the posting I made in their website.

He says Mackie has my order but won't produce until the new year. He asked if I wanted it to stand or a refund. I've asked for his estimate for delivery.

Frankly, at this rate, I think he should probable offer a discount. Their website makes no mention of minimum of five before Mackie produces. We'll see what his response is, but I'm very negatively impressed.

Arnot, your comment adds fuel to my personal fires.
